NHL Faceoffs Won Leaders: Montreal Canadiens
2025-26All situationsThrough 82 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by faceoffs won, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
Faceoffs won counts every draw a player wins. Top-six centres who take 20 draws a night lead the total; the faceoff percentage board shows who wins them most often. FOW is a category in many deeper leagues and favours volume: a centre who takes every key draw beats a better but less used one.
Leader for the Montreal Canadiens in 2025-26: Nick Suzuki (MTL), 731 FOW.

How to read it

How reliable is it?
Totals follow ice time and role; win rates are a real, repeatable skill once a centre has a few hundred draws.
